(Human Resources)
35. Resolution to Amend The Salary Ordinance - The Department of Human Resources has prepared a
resolution to amend the Salary Ordinance for the following departments: Human Resources and
General Services. These changes will increase the total allocations by five (5) positions immediately,
with the elimination of three (3) positions effective September 1, 2012, as contained in the FY 2012-13
Recommended Budget.
Human Resources: The Human Resources Department is requesting to add the classifications of
Contracts/Procurement Agent, Senior and Contracts/Procurement Agent to Section 57, Reference E of
the Salary Ordinance titled, ?Management, Confidential and Supervisory (BCMEA) Unit Classifications.?
The salary ranges for the classifications shall be set at 49 (Biweekly salary: $1,874.72-$2,512.30) and 45
(Biweekly salary: $1,698.40-$2,276.02) respectively. The department also requests to add the
classification of Contracts/Procurement Agent, Associate to Section 57, Reference C of the Salary
Ordinance titled, ?BCEA-General Unit.? The salary range for this classification shall be set at 41
(Biweekly salary: $1,508.55-$2,021.60). In addition the department requests to re-title the Contracts
Manager classification to Contracts/Procurement Manager. This title change will better reflect the
duties being performed by the incumbent and provide job title consistency throughout the newly
created classification series.
General Services: Concurrent with the request by Human Resources Department above, the General
Services Department is requesting to add one (1) position of Contracts/Procurement Agent, Senior and
two (2) positions of Contracts/Procurement Agent. The current job classifications do not encompass all
tasks required on a daily basis to complete both the contracting and procurement functions and do not
meet the operational needs of the department. The net changes in salary and benefit costs will result in
a savings of $7,535. In addition the department requests to add two (2) term positions of
Contracts/Procurement Agent, Associate with a term date of June 30, 2013. The department is unable
to keep up with the existing contract/procurement workload forcing the use of approximately 1.5 Full
PAGE 10
BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES - 6/12/2012
Time Equivalent (FTE) positions in the past year on an ad hoc basis. Adding two (2) Limited Term
positions until June 30, 2013, will allow the Department to eliminate ad hoc labor and to implement
procedures that will reduce routine workload within the department to a manageable level without
additional resources. Replacing the 1.5 FTE positions with Limited Term positions will results in a
onetime increase in cost of approximately $45,350. The limited term positions will terminate June 30,
2013. Initially all these changes will increase the department's allocations by five (5) positions until
departmental recruitments can be conducted to fill the three (3) new regular-help vacancies. The
existing contracting/procurement job classifications will be eliminated effective September 1, 2012, as
specified in the FY 2012-13 Recommended Budget. (Human Resources)
36. Resolution Recognizing Retiring Table Mountain School Personnel - resolution in recognition and
appreciation of the collective years of instruction provided to offenders inside the Butte County Juvenile
Hall by Table Mountain School personnel. The retiring instructors are Ron Myers, Sally Shea, Sal
Ramirez, Becky Brack, and Kim Agur. (Probation)
37. Linda Lewis - Epidemiology services are an essential component of the Butte County Public Health
Emergency Preparedness Program. To fulfill the scope of work requirements for the program, a person
trained in epidemiology must complete certain activities. Approval is requested for an agreement with
Linda Lewis to provide these services. The term of the contract is July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013.
The maximum financial obligation under this agreement is $65,000 (recommended department budget
utilizing state and federal funds). (Public Health)
38. Look Ahead Veterinary Hospital - Approval is requested for an agreement with Look Ahead Veterinary
Hospital to provide boarding and medical services for large animals impounded by the Butte County
Public Health Department. The term of the agreement is July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. The
maximum financial obligation under this amendment is $32,500. (recommended department budget
utilizing animal control license fees and other restricted Public Health funds). (Public Health)
39. Pavement Repair on Skyway Between Coutolenc and Nimshew Roads - Next year, Public Works
Department will perform a chip seal on Skyway Road from Coutolenc Road to Nimshew Road. Skyway is
a heavily traveled arterial road that is experiencing localized failures in the road surface. In order for
next year's chip seal to be effective, these pavement failures must be repaired by digging or grinding
out the failed sections of the road and repaving the excavated areas with new asphaltic concrete.
Public Works has determined that this work can be most efficiently done by a private contractor. The
estimates the cost of this work is $300,000. Project plans and specifications are available for review at
Butte County Public Works. (Public Works)
40. Award of Contract: Construction of Landfill Gas Wells at Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility, Project
#757-5983 - At its February 28, 2012 meeting, the Board authorized staff to advertise for bids to
construct gas collection wells in the active area of the landfill to comply with California Air Resources
Board's AB 32 Landfill Methane Rule. Previous to the implementation of the AB 32 Landfill Methane
Rule, surface emissions monitoring for methane was not required in the active area of the landfill.
Sampling in the active area suggests that surface emissions may be detected above the new compliance
threshold. Accordingly, installation of gas collection wells is necessary to control landfill gas migration.
Though this is a project to comply with State regulations, there is a side benefit of providing additional
PAGE 11
BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES - 6/12/2012
landfill gas for the energy facility. On April 18, 2012, staff released a Request for Bids. On May 11, 2012,
five bids were received and opened. SCS Field Services' bid of $141,800 was determined to be the
lowest responsible bid. SCS Field Services? bid was 15.28% above the Engineer's estimate of $123,000.
Bids ranged from a low of $141,800 to $191,500 (15.28% to 55.69% above estimate). LFG Control
Corporation filed a protest against awarding the contract to SCS Field Services. The Director of Public
Works considered LFG Control Corporation's concerns, asked SCS Field Services for clarifying
information, and issued a written decision rejecting the protest. (Public Works)
41. Contract Change Order No. 1 for the Seismic Retrofit of Ord Ferry Road Bridge across Sacramento River-
The Seismic Retrofit of the Ord Ferry Bridge across the Sacramento River project contract includes the
required special provision for training. This federal training special provision is used on federally funded
projects that are of sufficient size and duration to support "on the job" training to develop full
journeymen in the various types of trades or job classifications involved in the project. For these
contractors training efforts, they are eligible to request and receive $0.80/hr for trainee participation in
an approved equal employment opportunity affirmative action training program. This Contract Change
Order No. 1 will reimburse the contractor at the rate of$0.80/hr per the Federal Training requirements.
(Public Works)
42. Contract for the County Center Drive Roadway Repair and Bus Stop Improvement Project, County
Project No. 29485A-2012-1 - Public Works has prepared plans and specifications for the County Center
Drive Roadway Repair and Bus Stop Improvement Project. County Center drive is subject to heavy bus
use and other vehicular traffic that has damaged the roadway. This contract will replace the asphalt
surfacing in the bus turnout areas with concrete, as well as dig out and replace many of the failed
asphalt sections on County Center Drive with new asphalt concrete. Later this summer, Public Works
crews will place a cape seal on County Center Drive which is a chip seal on the roadway followed by a
slurry seal. 5 bids were received and opened on May 22, 2012 for the project. The lower bidder was
Franklin Construction, Inc. of Chico, CA. The low bid amount was $120,700. The bid amount from
Franklin Construction, Inc. was 0.33% above the engineer's estimate of $120,300. Bid procedures were
in accordance with Public Contract Code Section 2200 et. seq.
43. County Service Area 14 (Chapman Lighting) - Public Works and PG&E Project Adding Additional 17 LED
Street Lights and Converting Existing Lights to LED - At the request of community members within
County Service Area (CSA) 14, in the Chapman area of Chico, 17 new streetlights are to be installed on
existing PG&E poles. Public Works has determined that the new lights, as well as the existing 33 sodium
vapor street lights within CSA 14, should be LED lights. This will make the lighting effects consistent
within the community and save on monthly billing charges because LED lights use less energy and have
a lower monthly charge rate from PG&E. Public Works also recommends that all the mast arms for each
light be 6 feet in length instead of PG&E's standard length of 30 inches. This will move the street lights
out over the roadway to provide better and safer lighting. PG&E has also informed Public Works that
two lights within the CSA are currently being paid by two separate parcel owners. Public Works
recommends transferring the billing responsibility of those two street lights to CSA 14. Approval is
requested for a related budget adjustment in the amount of $35,000 (CSA 14 fund balance). (Public
Works)
44. The Superior Court of California, County of Butte - In FY 2012-13, the Sheriff's Office will provide all
PAGE 12
BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES - 6/12/2012
security functions in Butte County Superior Courts. Pursuant to the 2011 Realignment Act (AB118), the
majority of security funding was removed from the Court's budget and allocated directly from the State
of California Controller to the County Trial Court Security Account (TCSA). Commencing July 1, 2012, all
security funding will be allocated directly to the TCSA by the State and from there directly to the Sheriff,
bypassing the local Court. In conjunction with this AB 118 funding realignment, all responsibility for
security staffing will fall with the Sheriff and the Court will discontinue the Court-funded Court
Attendant classification. The Sheriff's Office has been working on a transition plan since January and
recently agreed to a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Courts. The MOU stipulates
funding for Security Officer positions filled between April 1, 2012 and June 30, 2012 with the Court
reimbursing the Sheriff's Office for salary and benefit, uniform and equipment costs associated with the
new positions. In anticipation of this change, on January 24, 2012, the Board approved the addition of a
Security Officer position classification to take the place of the Court Attendant positions, and approved
one position allocation to the Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff will need a total of 8 Security Officers and is
requesting to add the 7 additional Security Officer positions to facilitate a smoother transition of
services (action contained in the Human Resources agenda item). All positions are funded in FY 2012-13
budget, but the Sheriff will need appropriations to fund April 4, 2012 through June 30, 2012, funded by
the Court through this MOU. (Sheriff-Coroner)

1212-003 Resolution to Promote Workers' Compensation Coverage/Pilot Program - At the July 26, 2011
meeting, the Board heard testimony from local contractors, the State Contractors License Board, the
California Professional Association of Specialty Contractors, and the National Plasters Council
regarding the loss of revenue associated with the "under-ground economy" of unlicensed and semi-
licensed contractors performing work without permits or under-cutting other contractors by
foregoing required Workers' Compensation coverage. In addition, the liabilities of fraudulent
representation, worker injury, material and labor costs unpaid by contractor, licensing requirements,
and employers tax were addressed. The Board voted to support adherence to Workers?
Compensation laws, which protect the contractor, owner/builder, construction workers and promote
a level-playing field for fair bidding of jobs by enacting a pilot program for pool and roofing permits
and permitting requirements for re-plastering of pools. This pilot program was adopted by resolution
(# 11-085) at the August 9, 2011 Board of Supervisors meeting to run for twelve months. Staff
recommends extending the Board resolution to promote Workers' Compensation coverage/pilot
program for three more years with a new termination date of December 31, 2015 to provide an
established evaluation period on these seasonal type permits (re-roofs, re-plaster, pools, and etc.)
associated to this pilot program. (Development Services)

1212-004 Final Draft of the Delta Plan - The Delta Stewardship Council (DSC) is charged through the Delta
Reform Act of 2009 to develop the Delta Plan. On November 4, 2011, the DSC released the Draft
Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) based on its 5th Staff Draft Delta Plan. The DSC is intending to
finalize the Delta Plan and the Environmental Impact Report in a few months. The Delta Plan is a
strategic document that includes legally enforceable policies, strategies and actions within the Delta
to further advance the "coequal goals of providing a more reliable water supply for California and
protecting, restoring and enhancing the Delta ecosystem." According to the Delta Reform Act, the
Delta Plan was limited to address defined "covered actions" that will "occur, in whole or part, within
the boundaries of the Delta or Suisan Marsh." On May 14th, the DSC released the Final Staff Draft
Delta Plan. The Final Draft Delta Plan and the DEIR remain inconsistent, incomplete and flawed. The
Final Staff Draft Delta Plan includes vague language and specific policies that could lead to having the
northern Delta watershed responsible for providing increase flows to the Delta. The Final Draft Plan
includes an unauthorized expansion of its scope, would undermine regional water supply
sustainability and would redirect impacts to the Delta watershed. Enforceable actions outside of the
Delta are not authorized by statute but the recommendations in the Delta Plan provide direction to
the regulatory agencies. The DSC has scheduled to meet on June 14 and 15 to discuss the Final Staff
Draft Plan. The perspective of the Butte County Board of Supervisors will be important to submit to
the DSC in advance of their meeting.

1212-005 9:25 a.m. - Timed Item - Resolution Accepting Donation from the Oroville Veterans Memorial Park
Committee and Award of Contract for Pre-Construction Work Associated with a Congestion Mitigation
and Air Quality Grant (CMAQ) - Earlier this year, the County applied for a $600,000 CMAQ grant for
the construction of two park and ride lots on the County owned parcels adjacent to the Oroville
Veterans Memorial Hall on Montgomery Street.The project has now been placed on the Butte County
Association of Governments (BCAG) approved project list. Once constructed, this project will provide
a safe and effective location for citizens to carpool and utilize local transportation options such as the
B-line bus system. Additionally, construction of the park and ride lots will provide significant benefit
to the Oroville Veterans Memorial Hall, improve parking for local community events and will include
infrastructure, such as lighting and landscaping that will benefit the future Oroville Veterans Memorial
Park for all of Butte County.
To utilize the CMAQ grant funds that will become available in November of this year, approximately
$40,000 in pre-construction design and environmental work must be completed first. The Oroville
Veterans Memorial Park Committee offered a $20,000 donation to help facilitate the pre-construction
work. The donation and an additional $20,000 from the General Services operating budget, necessary
to complete the pre-construction work, will be included in adjustments to the FY 2012-13
Recommended Budget (Schedule A). In addition, staff is requesting the approval of a contract with
Northstar Engineering, with an effective date of July 1, 2012 and totaling $33,836 for the initial phase

1212-013 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Project Priority List 2012 - 2013 - The Economic
Development Administration (EDA) requires the 3CORE Economic Development District to complete a
five-year planning document, the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS), in order to
guide regional economic development efforts. 3CORE utilizes the CEDS to identify and prioritize
public works and other economic development projects within the District for their member
jurisdictions. Part of the CEDS document includes a list of priority economic development projects for
each 3CORE member jurisdiction. "Priority A" projects include those projects that are proposed to
move forward in the near term, "Priority B" projects include those that are proposed to move forward
within the next five years, and "Priority C' projects include those projects that are likely to move
forward sometime in the future. Taking into consideration the EDA's Investment Guidelines, and the
2011-2012 approved Butte County CEDS priority project list, staff is recommending a 2012-2013
priority project list for approval. When developing the priority project list, staff took into
consideration the General Plan 2030 document, the County's Capital Improvement Program, and the
Butte County Regional Economic Development Strategy. Once approved, 3CORE will work with the
County to pursue funding to assist in meeting the County's project priority goals.

1212-014 Proposed Ordinance Amending Butte County Code, Chapter 31, "Solid Waste Collection, Management
and Recycling" - Assembly Bill 341 was signed on October 6, 2011 enacting a statewide program to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions by diverting a portion of commercially generated solid waste from
landfills. According to a 2008 study, the commercial sector generates approximately 68% of the solid
waste disposed of in California, which contains a high percentage of recyclable materials. AB 341
requires businesses generating four or more cubic yards of solid waste per week and multi-family
complexes of five or more units to recycle. The law also requires waste collection companies to
promote and provide recycling opportunities to these customers. AB 341 requires local government
to monitor the implementation of the commercial solid waste recycling program which includes
education, outreach, and participation "that is appropriate for the jurisdiction" allowing some
flexibility for local government to revise requirements for rural areas. The proposed amendments to
the Butte County Code, Chapter 31, "Solid Waste Collection, Management and Recycling" will bring
Butte County in compliance with AB 341. (Public Works)
